Comment:
Others complain about the "flimsy" nature of the control bar for the flow regulator -- I am wondering what exactly they are trying to spread, pebbles? Also there are complaints of the "inaccuracy" of the metering knob -- the metering knob is a general set of numbers from 0 through 12 or something, only meant as a relative gauge. You should calibrate any spreader you buy, no matter the manufacturer. None are accurate.
My review statement is: calibrate it (as you should be doing anyhow) and don't spread pebbles, this spreader will work just fine for you.
BTW, the directions which come with the device clearly state both of these facts as well....

Don't buy this Piece of junk, The fingertip cable control for easy on/off is junk will not close stays open the numbers are not accurate.
Comment:
First one I bought was missing hardware. I returned it for a new one and had it assembled in 15 minutes: ready to go! The trouble came when the spreader kept dumping too much fertilizer. I went through 10 pounds of fertilizer on 500 square feet of lawn. 10 pounds should have done 2500 square feet. I had it set to zero so nothing should be coming out and it still kept dumping way too much. I discovered that the fertilizer pellets kept getting stuck and keeping the metering gate from closing. I had to stop several times to try to clean out the fertilizer so the gate would close, but it would just happen all over again. It is a bad design flaw, as the metering gate is too flimsy. I could have fixed the problem by bolting a sold bar of metal to the side to make it rigid, but why should I have to do that after paying full price for it? I took it back and got my money out of it. Cheap, cheap, cheap!

Comment:
When I got it and the handle was sticking out of the box . It wasn't the easiest to put together because the instructions didn't show how the cable was to be put to the control to drop seeds or other products . It took me two nights but finally I think it is on right .Who knows though . I think the cable will bust the plastic after a while . I have not spread anything with it yet . It seems to roll nice and is big enough for alot of product . Most reviews of these kind of products have not been good but if the cable stays on I think it will work well .
Comment:
Ordered this piece of junk in May this year, after receiving it a part was missing...I called this company's customer service from May to request part 4 times...I finally received part on JUNE 8th! Guess what IT didn't fit correctly was too late to return it so I took a $[...] dollar loss....don't be stupid, don't order this as I had to throw it out!
Had to give it one star so that I could write this review!
